12 Myths About Dogs

1. They Are Better Thieves Than Cats

Everyone has heard of a cat burglar. No one has heard of a dog burglar. It's not because they don't exist. It's because they are so dang good they never get caught. On March 27, 2017, a 221-lb gold coin called the behemoth was stolen in Canada and police have no idea how the thieves pulled it off. That's because no one is looking at the dogs because they think they are good boys. Try good burglars.

2. They are allergic to silver

Legend has it that if you want to kill a werewolf you use a silver bullet. A lesser-known fact is that a silver bullet also works on a dog. They thought to try the silver bullet on a werewolf because they bought a fancy silver collar for one of the queen's dogs. He developed a mysterious wasting disease that they eventually traced to the collar. The real Sherlock Holmes came in and figured out the mystery. Suddenly, for the first time in history, we could kill werewolves.

3.They Can Communicate with the Dead

Everyone who has owned a dog knows they delight in rolling in other dead animals. What is lesser known is why they do it. Dogs have special membranes in their skin that let them communicate with everyone that has passed on to the afterlife. This membrane only works for a few seconds during initial contact so they have to continuously touch new parts of their skin to the dead animal to communicate. By the way, your dog wants you to know your great-grandma thinks you're rude for never saying hi.

4. They Watch TV When You Aren't Home

Have you ever come home and mysteriously some episodes of your show have been watched and your family swears they didn't do it? That's because they really didn't. It's that innocent-looking doggo sitting in the corner. You may think he hasn't been paying attention during Hell's Kitchen but they know that Gordon Ramsey is going to finally kick off that no good Marco any episode now.

5. They've Started a Petition For Indoor Plumbing

Every member of your household has indoor plumbing, but them. Including.......the cat. They thought you rectified the situation with the Christmas tree, but you got mad any time they used it. The dogs are demanding equal rights. Why should they be the only ones that have to pee outside on a cold rainy day?

6. They are Good Gamblers

This fact is a little better known. A dog poker game was caught in a famous painting after all. What's lesser-known is this is the reason he chases the cat. Cats are notoriously bad about paying gambling debts and the cat owes the dog money from last night's poker game.

7. They are the Reason the Vikings Found the New World

People who don't know history think that Columbus discovered America. People who know history a little better think it's the Vikings that discovered America. Few people know that dogs were actually the organizers behind the Viking trips. They had heard of a new source of prey called the squirrel and they tricked humans into going to America so they could chase them.

Dog's are man's best friend and a lot sneakier than we ever gave them credit for. Hopefully, after reading this article you'll look at your dog with a new eye and maybe invite him to your next poker game.
